“David was an excellent performer addressing a tricky subject. The children were spellbound by his performance in both age groups. He was funny, fun, articulate, brave. Just excellent! One teacher said, "He was able to connect with kids with his 'hip' humor and his acting about a very serious message. You could have heard a pin drop." Another said, "He was so inspiring and he really energized the kids!"”

“This was a wonderful show and moving performance by David. I would highly recommend it to all! The kids enjoyed it and learned some important lessons. And the teachers loved it!”

“I happened to connect with students in 5th through 8th grades after today’s assembly. Some comments in the hallways across all four grade levels included, “Wow, that was such an awesome assembly. I almost started crying at the end.” “He was really interesting, I really liked it!” “That was such an interesting assembly. He was really cool and funny.””

“The message of David's show was fantastic, but it was his delivery that mesmerized our students. I have rarely seen middle school students so quiet and engaged during an assembly!”

“David Harrell exceeded all of our expectations! The school principal and teachers raved about his presentation. David was engaging and entertaining, and delivered a powerful message to the students about acceptance of oneself and others. I have already recommended David's program to another school in my district.”

“The teachers and kids LOVED David. His stories were engaging, inspiring, and entertaining, and teachers have told me, one week later, David's visit has been sparking some great classroom conversations.”

“The show for grades 5–8 was one of the best I've seen at CPS. The one-man show was highly engaging and really drove home the point that we need to refrain from judging those who are different. The life story shared by the actor through a series of comical and entertaining monologues truly helped students understand what it was like to grow up with a disability (prosthetic arm). Students learned empathy. At first they did not know what to make of the man with one arm, but as he begin to tell about his journey and the experiences he encountered—students were mesmerized!”
